I didn't believe him when he said he was happy with an election being held.

You are a bit cocky aren't you? Look at the facts:- The use of outsourcing giant Capita to boost the number of soldiers has "failed dismally" and soared in cost by nearly £200million, they said in a report. It called the deal "naive" and "overly complex" and said that since the contract began in 2012, Capita has missed every recruitment target, leaving the Army under strength. The firm is not expected to meet its targets until 2022, said the all-party Public Accounts Committee. We have a culture that no longer values the military and a youth that can no longer handle even a pub fight.

I believe that would be a terminal mistake for Brexit. If Boris wins a majority then this terrible "deal" will get voted through. This will shackle the country and ultimately lead us to re-join the EU as Brexit is re-branded as a failed experiment by the media. I see the current WA actually as remain's plan B. Vote Brexit party, I really think they could either win a majority or hold enough seats to hold sway with the Tories and force a clean break. Plan B for leave (strangely) is probably a Lib Dem government (with the help of the all the other anti Brexit parties) trying to revoke A50. Then we can legitimately throw the whole lot of them into the Thames. I have a hell of a lot more respect for this position than those who were avid no-dealers a week ago, but now think they’ve won with Boris’ deal.

What cross between a retarded sheep and a village idiot lemming amongst you can possibly think Boris Johnson has any shred of credibility left, and still support the bloody fool? How stupid do you have to be to parrot such nonsense? Answers on a postcard.

As I predicted the opposition are trying to tack on reducing the voting age to 16 and also including EU citizens. This is a terrible idea and shows us just how far this Parliament has sunk into stupidity. Both of these are major constitutional changes. Where was the debate? where was the public campaign? What are the nuances? I said that the courts should not have interfered in politics for the same reason that Parliament should not be making these changes under these circumstances. We need calm heads and clear minds to look at all this stuff, take advice from constitutional experts, listen to the public and come to a decision. It's a joke that this Parliament which has loudly proclaimed that it needs more time to study Boris' deal I hope they fail.

Was always highly unlikely to be selected. As you say any change like that needs to be properly debated.

I hope the Lords resist the temptation their reason for existing is to take a step back and take a long hard look at legislation. I'm not in favour of either amendment but I could be persuaded I just don't like being bounced into it.

Almost exactly my words to Mrs YT when I heard this on the news, plus a few effs and blinds thrown in. The hypocrisy of MPs is staggering (as if we didn't know that already).
